When Kanye West wears or promotes a shoe, all the hypebeasts start to wear said shoes.
Dan: Dude, why the fuck do people buy these $6000 sheep dick-skin shoes?
Kwong: AAAAAAYYYYYEEEE I COPPED SOME OF THOSE THE OTHER DAY. IT'S CAUSE KANYE WORE THEM.
Pablo: Oh god, Kwong's neediness for shoes has increased because of *dramatic pause* THE KANYE EFFECT.

Whenever an artist collaborates with Kanye West he brings out his best performance due to the pressure of being next to such a legendary artist or rather the atmosphere that Kanye creates in the studio during the making of his projects.

The phenomenon that occurs when Kanye West intrudes upon a celebrity, causing the proceeding celebrity to reglorify the former.
2009 VMA's - Kanye West took the mic from Taylor Swift, and said “Taylor, I’m really happy for you. I’ll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!" and then left the stage. Beyonce then called Taylor Swift back up to the stage to let her have her moment. Taylor Swift was a victim of The Kanye Effect.

1. When a person with substantial influence broadcasts their stance on a subject matter, others blindly follow without critically analyzing the reality of the subject matter.

2. Exaggerating your liking of a subject matter simply because others blindly say so despite it being pure shit.
Jeffery: OMG! The life of pablo was amazing, his best album yet.........

Caleb: Actually Jeff, that is a good example of The Kanye Effect, yes my beautiful twisted dark fantasy was an instant classic but that doesnt make every piece of music Kanye makes great..... Think for yourself Jeffery not what the Hipsters tell you to think

The random interruption of all things, due to the fact that Beyonce's video was just that good.
Finding no explanation for the random interruption of importing the database back up, the only available option is the kanye effect.

It's a player's worst nightmare. After being exposed to all kind of sluts for several years, one can't no longer tell the difference between a whore and a nice girl. Individuals suffering from the Kanye effect might end up tying the knot with a woman of low morals, a.k.a a slut.
Rapper Kanye West scored numerous sluts in the past and ended up marrying a whore (Kim Kardashian). This phenomenon is known as The Kanye Effect.

When you're ego makes you look like an overconfident, stuck up idiot.
He looked like a total a-hat, that's called the Kanye West Effect.
